Great work!

Now that you’ve shared a bit about yourself, we’d like you to consider policies designed to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. Let’s learn about policy attributes.

Policy Attributes

Below is a description of the various policy attributes that will vary across every policy - each policy will be a combination of these attributes and their levels. Each attribute contains an associated image helping to explain the attribute.

Accessibility

Accessibility refers to the distance in which a vaccination clinic would be placed from your home. It varies with increasing increments from 0-10 miles from a constituent’s residence. A distance of 0 miles indicates door-door in-residence vaccination campaigns.

Incentives

Incentives refers to the type of commodity that would be given out at tax season for being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the tax return deadline. It varies by cash (tax rebates) and cash equivalents (gift cards) redeemable at:

  • Grocery stores
  • Internet providers
  • Professional sporting events

Incentive Value

Incentive value refers to the value of commodities that would be given out at tax season for being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the tax return deadline. It varies by increasing increments from $0 to $1000.

Penalty

This value refers to the penalty due at tax season for failing to get a being fully vaccinated against COVID-19 by the tax return deadline under a vaccine mandate. It varies by increasing increments from $0 to $1000.

Questions

We’ll now begin with policy options. On the next few pages we will show you different combinations of policy options regarding COVID-19 vaccinations.
